#7 Kawhi Leonard - San Antonio Spurs
"The Klaw", Kawhi Leonard is surely a disciple of Kobe Bryant. Leonard has developed from a great Defender to arguably the greatest two-way player in this league. Kawhi now defends, plays one-on-one, distributes the ball, and shoots. He can go driving in the paint to the basket, and his teammates now don't hesitate to pass him the ball.
